Orlando — Leonard Fournette said he hopes to have his college decision finalized by Tuesday.

And then comes the fun of trying to keep the choice secret until his announcement Thursday at the Under Armour All-America Game.

"I wouldn't be ready today," he said after practice Sunday. "I'm waiting for my parents to come down Tuesday so I can talk to them about what school I want to decide on."

Fournette's family is among the many making the trip to Orlando on Tuesday, at which time the nation's top prospect hopes to discuss the options and choose his school.

Academics, with his plans to major in either business or engineering will be a big topic, he said.

And the 6-foot-1, 226-pound back doesn't expect any friction when determining the decision.

"They always tell me, 'Whatever school you pick,' they're gonna be happy for me, so it doesn't matter," he said.

One dynamic that won't factor into his decision is any pressure from other recruits, he said.

Fournette, who is rooming with St. Augustine teammate and Texas commitment Jermaine Roberts this week, said he has spent much of his time with Roberts, Karr teammates Gerald Willis and Devante "Speedy" Noil, Ouachita receiver and Alabama commit Cameron Sims and West Monroe lineman and Alabama commit Cameron Robinson.

Like Fournette, Noil and Willis will make their announcements Thursday, but "who's going where" is not something the players discuss much, they said.

"We've just been having fun, playing the game, going swimming and stuff like that," Fournette said. "Nobody has been trying to put anybody at another school."

Fournette said he's excited to finally announce a school of choice this week, and fans across the South have been noticeably eager to hear the news — news which the young star knows will be met with mixed reactions.

"Somebody's gonna be happy, and somebody's gonna be sad at the end of the day," he smiled. We just have to wait and see."
